The Ship & Castle, East Cowes

A narrow corner pub in white render and black paintwork. In the GBG 2010 The interior is of course, one long narrow room, with quite a small bar area accessed more easily at the side entrance. The is lots of ship and other naval ephemera and pictures on the walls. There was Sky TV and a dart board. The decor is in keeping with the exterior, white and black wood panel. The service was fine and the clientele a good mix. Beer; tap stuff with a good choice of the more uncommon handpull beers for the Isle - Hopback Summer lightning, Hampshire Brewery's Tumbledown and a pretty decent Vale Brewery's Golden Eagle. A smashing little place, worth more time than the swift ale i could manage
